I bought them right after the YU4 review.
They have everything you could want on them, even Bluetooth. One of the best things I have bought. And just look at the design, I got the gloss white finish which looks absolutely great on any desk !
Got these in grey for 300 on Black Friday, loving them and I don’t regret my decision. Their simplicity is amazing and sound quality is great and to me they look very sexy, anyways great review Z
Just so you know... it’s actual Bamboo not a vinyl wrap!
Love your reviews man, thanks, gonna be recommending this to a friend - main reason being no additional dac needed.
Thanks for the review. I now have a pair of these for my lounge and they are excellent👍💙
I got the YU6s based on the Kanto Yumi review when I moved out. I didn't expect me to go with powered speakers, but there are enough inputs for everything in the living room.
Apartment looking fairly clean. Good job Zeos!
I just ordered these; the price was more then it was a couple of years ago but what hasn’t gone up! I bought the flat white color.
This review was absolutely fucking hysterical thank you for that. Probably the most honest review you'll get on the internet. I'll probably pick a pair of these up. My question is if you think they are still a good buy now that they've increased in price to around $400 or if I should be looking at others.
Even if I don't want something, I still listen to Z Reviews just because his voice and talking style is so relaxing. I feel like I'm drinking from a wine glass while wearing a bathrobe and listening to my favorite jams.
That’s called a fetish bud
I have had these on my desk for a while now. They do have a little white noise when powered up up-close. Do you remember if the TUKs are quieter/louder when powered but not playing? Love em for their sound and their looks, might upgrade to a pair of TUKs somewhere down the road and find another nice place for these.
“That fine, I don’t like fine. I like easy, convenient and pretty”. -Zeos
Me too bud, me too.
I'll definitely be looking at the stripped down "YU" model as a soundbar substitute along with a subwoofer. I'll be connecting via analogue anyway so I can use the TV's built-in virtual surround sound DSP and control the volume from the TV's remote. The Kanto remote and control interface is definitely lacking significantly. So won't need the extras of the YU4 and YU6.
I've been wanting a pair of powered bookshelf speakers for my Sony 75" TV. Trying to avoid getting an Amp/Receiver. Mostly for TV/Movies. Would these fit the bill? Would you suggest something different?
zeos, have you ever heard the Polk RTI A3's? I am a huge polk fan and would like to get your take on them. I run a7's up front and a3's as my surrounds. The A3's sound so good and they're only $240 a pair. I don't know if they can live up to your audiophile ears but I'm very happy with mine. Just curious how you would review them.
I just got the YU6 in Walnut. Gonna play with them this weekend.
how do you like them? is there room for an upgrade?
@@neby_nebs They sound quite good, but I returned them because they're too big for frequent travel with my laptop. I exchanged for the YU4. The YU4 are easier to carry and still sound very good.
@Z Reviews
I've been looking at the Kanto SYD for my turntable that is in a strange corner of a room. Any way you could do a review on "that" dual-speaker?
I like pretty and convenient speakers and I like 300/pair powered.
I've been needing speakers for ages, I might as well just buy these and be done with it.
I liked the vanatoo T1 though...
How do these compare to Fluance? I have the Fluance Ai40, but I'm returning them. At low volumes the speaker does strange things to the audio. The powered speaker makes a static noise when bass hits, even with bass at neutral setting.
Have you tried the syd? I was thinking of getting it to use as a sound bar, what do you think? And eventually getting a sub
Deciding beetween these and the Fluance Ai60 which are better they are the same price on Amazon.
These things are 450 a pair now... So, "meh"? "Garbage"? What would you do instead? Audio engine a5+? KEF? Edifier? Vanatoo?
I have these. The bass boost actually boosts the upper bass/mids too and it makes them sound awful so I live it at default.
Does anybody know what song is played at 11:37? I would love to know! I love 80s music and i can't figure out what song it is! Would appreciate any help :)
So now that there's $430, meh? Are the TUKs worth $800? Or just stick with the $600 vanatoo T1E?.I'm looking for a medium sized living room for music and TV, mainly music. I live in an apartment complex so I need them to sound good even at lower volumes.
Thanks for the review. Great work. One question: how do these connect to an AVR if the binding posts are needed to connect them to each other ? ?
These are already powered and already have their dac. You don't connect them to an AVR, unless you can connect them through the pre-out of the amp into one of the optical/rca speaker inputs or something.. but then what's the point? better just use an normal unpowered speaker.
i'm just considering this Speaker with the Edifier S3000 Pro. What's your advice ? Thanks
Anyone here that can provide some input. I have the Kanto YUMI powered speakers, discontinued now. I wan't to buy another pair for another set up should I upgrade to Y6's ? or find some Yumi's on ebay or whatever ? Thanks in advance.
It's an active speakers good enough to compete with mid-fi bookshelf speakers, I dun think it's an entry level speakers, as the sound/feature/finish is just fine and musical enough, of course you can get better sound via external DAC.
I know you like to do reviews on cheap small speakers that sound good. Just got four of the Mediabridge Bookshelf speakers MS-BP1B and would like to see you do a review on them. For the price I was very impressed. Love the channel by the way. Good reviews.
@@crazyprayingmantis5596 I think the Mica's probably would sound and perform better but for the price you can't beat them.
Same question as others down below: Kanto or Fluance ai61?
Omg yes revieweeww
can kanto yu6 connect with other brand subwoofer like klipsch svs yamaha monolith?
Would love to see thoughts on the new ifi zen dac/amp
$399 now so no buy, but what other options do I have?
Can you do a review of the active speakers Acoustic Energy AE1 ?
chat please help these speakers with the sub or the Klipsch R-51PM Powered with sub .. for pc and tv set up I want something louder than the katana soundbar
Were these really $300 three years ago? They are $539 now. Still a buy or do you suggest something else?
What active speaker/ passive+amp would you recommend for audio noobs for the living room under 500€?
I have Kanto YU-2s on my desk with a sub-a-fer.
Whats kind of speaker stand are you using?
How does one get the framed Swordfish || art on the wall?
are devialet phantoms on your radar to review?
You need the matching sub-8 to test it as the complete 2.1 system. Just turn the lowpass down to 50hz tha match the speakers.
i got that setup but with the TUK speakers, still there on my room in their boxes waiting for me to build the computer first 😩 i hope they sound amazing
@@KamiKaZeJeremy you ever get it installed? How u like it?
@@damnitdang yes 2 years already with my Kanto TUK and love them every minute, the DAC is high quality 👌🤩
@@KamiKaZeJeremy nice... I won't able to afford the tuk. But I'm savng up for the yu6. I have a 18" sub I'm planning on using with it. Lol
Would a pair of Sonos One compare with these at all?
Heads up Zeos Micca isn't producing their subs anymore. I got this info from Micca support. The reason had something to do with components getting to expensive to keep pricing down.
DAMN FFFF
What is the music at 12:18?
this was the best not echo dot review ever
Damn it Z! I changed my alexa to answer to Echo lol. I'm going to buy the Vanatoo TZ's for a large desk and what would you recommend for an inexpensive sub to pair with them?
i bought the Kanto TUK speakers thanks to Z hehe i also bought the Kanto Sub8 on black Friday sale for just only $200 with free shipping from Crutchfield, they have an subwoofer sale right now, also the Audioengine Sub is a great subwoofer too for the Vanatoo's, they were my first decision until I saw the TUK review, both are amazing you will be happy with the subwoofer paired to these amazingly crafted speakers, good luck
@@KamiKaZeJeremy Appreciate the info. The TUKs are a little out of my price range especially with adding a sub but I'll definitely checkout those subs 👍.
I need some speakers for my desk, and sometimes bedroom, and I'm torn between these and the Adam T5v's.. Which would anyone here recommend?
Probably these, just simpler all round. The money that goes into the t5v's is more for the accuracy and tuning, not really sounding like it'd help for you
is the passive version the same quality?
Where are yu6's for sale at 300$? Only price I see is 520$ cnd
q acoustics 3020i + receiver or kanto yu6?
I'm deciding between these two. What have you ended up with?
4 years later now selling for $479.00. Still recommend???? The Swan D300 are $499.99 right now. Which sounds better? Detail, resolution...
Epic review. “F$&kn piano man sounds amazing”
God damn it! So is it great even without sub?
Are the Kanto YU6 Walnut cabinets actually walnut?? Why else would the raise the prices $70 for walnut?? I hope its not a vinyl skin or some shit.... it says on the website the bamboo versions are real solid bamboo but its doesn't specify about the walnut... Sigh.......
I tried connecting my Fire Tablet , IPad , and Samsung tablet with cable and they all sound better when using Bluetooth. Maybe that the Yamaha receiver does some magic with the Bluetooth
Yamaha has a algorithm for bluetooth for a decompressed sound. That and Aptx is the way to go for wireless barring wifi.....
gooooooooood
Have you tested the fluance ai61 speakers they are the ported version of the ai60 with a minor bump in power I’m debating on these Kanto yu6 or the fluance ai61 and it’s driving me crazy
Same here! I don't understand why anybody compare them since they are literaly 2 almost identical speakers. I'm tempted to go with Fluance since they are less expensive, and Kanto seem to only are more expensive because of their sexy finish. Also Fluance Ai61 have bigger woofer.
lol zeos turned on my lights
Whats the make of the fan?
Unsure wether to get theses or the Klipsch R-51pm 🤔 any suggestions?
Go with the Kanto YU6 all day long over the Klipsch........of course if you get into Tower speakers go with the Klipsch R-625FA Tower Speakers
These are no longer $300. Amazon and the kanto audio website are selling these for $499.99 to start 😏.
Where can I scoop a pair for $300?!
How do these sound compared to kef q150?
Where do you buy the stands please?
Any other other suggestions of powered bluetooth speakers in this range? I really like that these have the phono preamp but it's not a must for me. Also where I am, they're around 420 usd :/
Should be on sale for xmas. I see $369 cdn right now. Not sure about recommendations maybe actual monitors but the issue there is then not having all the connect-ability options sort of maybe a apples to oranges at that point even though they are powered. These even have some slight EQ ability + the sub out.
There is also YU 4
Please tell me the name of the song in the intro :(
Jack Black of Audio Reviews.
The price is much lower on Black Friday just passed. By the way, does anyone know what kind of speaker wire does he use to connect the left and right speaker? I'm searching for one, but do not know what fits?
He said he's using wires made by micca. Any speaker wire with a banana plug or just bare wire will fit
s8wc3 Thank you. The original supplied one is not so good, I’m searching for replacements and YU6 is my first speaker of that type of plug. By the way, YU6 is so good within it’s price tag
Price up tp 400 to 430 USD on Amazon March 27 2021. Gemme mo de dat greed facto.
small, dim and obscured by being in a tube. sounds like my first time.
£349 in the UK. Seems a bit steep.
Kanto YU6 or Klipsch 15PM Please help
What did you end up going with?
Better to compare with Klipsch R-51M, which one is better sounding?
Timestamp for the audio?
They maybe have been $300 bucks at some point somewhere but they are now $400.00 bucks when i search for them
You dont have to say that because 300 other people already said it.
Enough is enough.
Currently $430...I'll be looking at the Swans lol
can't you just send the right to left and visa versa to fix the location dilemma?
Im also in this dilema on these speakers.
They've already bumped the price to $379. Sheesh
isnt the name a pokemon region?
I'm having a problem with my YU6s where it enters standby mode when connected via Bluetooth to an Echo and you don't play for awhile. There's a setting to disable standby when inactive for other inputs, but not for Bluetooth. :/
Did you not encounter this in your review?
is that a Alpine White KRISS Vector yoo cool i have one lol
I have the smaller Kanto YU2 speakers paired with the Kanto down-firing subwoofer. I'm very happy with my simple computer 2.1 setup. I expect the same good audio quality from the YU6.
Stand names?
Maybe put a time stamp on the point in the video where we hear an actual music demo.
Nice they are now 620-660$CAD...
Ye gods these are now $499 to $539 depending on finish. Its a harder investment to make with that price jump.
Finally decided to go in on these. Been looking at them for over a year. Had wanted to drive to the nearest audio store that sells them but couldn't get out to LA before the shutdowns.
Currently, there are 7 in Matte Black on Amazon for $339 and the prices seem to be going up on the others, so if anyone's thinking about it, now's a good time.
I have an old definitive technology prosub 60 8" powered subwoofer with LFE input. Could I connect this to the sub out on the kanto and be good?
Can't find these for under $400.
$400 on Amazon right now so Vanatoo T0 for $360 is the way to go?
The JBL 306P are $240 for a pair on Amazon
that was the black friday hangover, check now. YU6 for $369 CDN. Should be sub 300 USD.
Aperion has their Allaire at $299 right now as well. Edit: still showing $399 on Amazon US.
playlist please z
Zeos: "i like Easy, Continent and Pretty"
Pasta: (Sad pasta noises)
:(
I have to agree. It's a helluva lot better than incontinent.
who has the playlist
Guys can you help me please what is his music player that he's using ?
foobar2000
Flame It’s Foobar, look way back on his channel he shows you exactly how to set it up with the transparent screen and all
@M. S HEY ITS MY FRIEND FROM THE UNBOXING CHANNEL
Foobar2002. I looked for a free audio player that could be well organized, it turns out this is the best.
what song was at the very beginning?
This song is dope, especially the beginning. I had to find it. It's Barry White haha. Song is You're the First, the Last, My Everything
bro did u ever find the song
@@parissmith4955 yeah man! It's in my comment. You're the First, the Last, My Everything by Barry White. Straight banger.
@@grenardmadrigal4323 nahhhh the violin part
They are 400...not 300.
I'm thinking they waited for the positive reviews and then jacked up the price. They are now $480.
Yeah this is upsetting. I’ve been considering them and didn’t realize there is like a 50%+ price increase. He did say that if they were $400 he’d give a “meh” review. So I wonder what would be better in the $450ish price range?
"At $400, they are a 'meh' monitor"
Look at amazon current price: $399.
It makes me sad. I was actually thinking of buying these but even if Zeos said they were worth $400 that price point is out of my budget. I got excited watching this thinking, "Wow I can actually afford this". Sigh.
fluance ai40 checks all the boxes for me. (especially the wood and white trim)
Never seen these available for $300 ?
@@fluphybunny930 they are $169.96 USD from their website. Amazon sometimes has them for less.
Not my fault.
Someone had family over and tidied up =D
just me
@@PrincessPastaAudio Good work! It was becoming beastly lol.
